ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS


The foundation years are intended to provide learners with access to a core curriculum with common essential learning.

Grade 9 and 10 English stresses the basic program objectives in order to:

• explore thoughts, ideas, feelings, and experiences; • comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral, literary, and media sources; • manage ideas and information; • enhance the clarity and artistry of communication; • celebrate and build community

English Language Arts 10F Grade 9 English examines the program objectives listed above.

The course will offer students a broad range of language experiences using a wide variety of literary and transactional sources.

English Language Arts 20F Prerequisite: English 10F

Grade 10 English stresses the increasing complexities of the program objectives outlined above. To prepare for increasing course specialization, studies will foster a greater awareness of language in various contexts (i.e. the purpose of shaping the message to suit the audience).

The Specialization Years – Grade 11 & 12

The specialization years are intended to provide learners with access to a variety of curricula to allow them to prepare most effectively for their post-secondary goals and for their future in an increasingly complex society.

All Grade 11 and 12 students may choose any one of the following courses: both with a difference in focus

What is the difference between English and Literary English?

Transactional (Pragmatic) language is used to “inform, instruct, direct, explain, persuade, argue, analyze, or plan” (ELA Foundation for Implementation 1-13). Activities in class are more practical and direct.

Literary (Aesthetic) language is used “to capture and represent experiences, feelings, or vision for self or others… to create an imagined reality, to enlighten, foster understanding and empathy,…to use language and forms in creative ways” (ELA Foundation for Implementation 1-13).

16

Please note:

The two course offerings in Grade 11 and 12 are of approximately equal difficulty; however, the skill activities students do in class will be, for the most part, different, even if the thematic unit is similar. Note that both courses satisfy post-secondary entrance requirements.

All ELA students in Grade 11 and 12 write the same final exam (provincial or local) at the end of the semester. Final exams strive to provide a balance of transactional and literary materials.

Students may choose either of the course offerings in Grade 11 (English 30S or Literary English 30S) and subsequently change their course focus in Grade 12. Their Grade 11 focus choice does not pre-determine their Grade 12 choice.

English 30S Prerequisite: English 20F

Students will develop a deeper understanding of language, literature, and means of communication by examining and responding to a wide variety of literary and transactional sources. In a dystopian unit, students might create an essay which compares a film to a novel of their choice. Students will examine and create work with a roughly 50% transactional emphasis and a roughly 50% literary emphasis.

Literary English 30S Prerequisite: English 20F

Students explore meaningful and relevant themes presented in literature. They will also develop their own creative writing skills. The acquisition of analysis skills and research skills will also be included. In a dystopian unit, students might create a series of poems or a short story which using imagery to convey emotion and mood. Students will examine and create work with a roughly 30% transactional emphasis, and a roughly 70% literary emphasis.

English 40S Prerequisite: English 30S or Literary English 30S

This course will offer students a broad range of reading and language experiences (literature, drama, journalism, documentary films). Students will develop an awareness of how different texts express ideas and convey meaning. Students will examine and create work with a roughly 50% transactional emphasis, and a roughly 50% literary emphasis.

Literary English 40S Prerequisite: English 30S or Literary English 30S

Students will have the opportunity to explore meaningful and relevant themes presented in literature. They can expect to refine their creative writing skills and learn to express main ideas through various forms. Literary texts including plays, poetry, novels, and films will be explored with a focus on analysis and critical thinking skills. Students will examine and create work with a roughly 30% transactional emphasis, and a roughly 70% literary emphasis.

ESPAGNOL Would you like to be able to communicate in three languages by the time you graduate? It’s possible at CJS. Your years of French language experience will help you learn Spanish more quickly than you think.

Throughout all four years of Spanish at CJS, speaking and listening are more important than reading and writing. Some students are already conversing fluently by the end of their second year. All students who continue with Spanish through Grade 12 are able to converse with native speakers by the end of their fourth year.

Espagnol 10F This course is your introduction to one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. It does not require prior experience at the grade 8 level. As early as possible, classes are conducted exclusively in Spanish. Various media and interactive websites are used in order to help develop listening and speaking.

Students are encouraged to speak the language as much as possible, and they will participate in short oral presentations in class. Learning useful vocabulary is more important than grammar at this level. Since this is a first-year course, an effort is made to use vocabulary which is common to both Spain and Hispanic America. Students may create cultural art projects with teachers and Spanish-speaking guests.

Espagnol 20F Prerequisite: Espagnol 10F

There is a strong cultural component to the second-year course. Students will be given the opportunity to learn about the food, music, festivals, films and dance of Hispanic America. Spanish-speaking guests may present information about their traditions, travels, Día de los muertos and Cinco de mayo. They will develop their speaking skills through group presentations, both in class and through video productions related to possible themes as trip planning, parts of the house and preparing a recipe in a cooking show. As always, there is more emphasis on listening and speaking than on reading and writing. There is some new grammar (especially verb tenses), but this grammar is taught in order to facilitate communication and never just for its own sake.

Espagnol 30S Prerequisite: Espagnol 20F

Students in the 30S course continue to develop their speaking fluency through a wide variety of small-group conversations, role-playing, presentations and games. Students may create children’s books, to be shared with Spanish elementary students in Winnipeg. Working in groups, students prepare and present at least one major video project. There is more use of news sources which are intended for native speakers, so students are challenged to learn about current events while at the same time developing their listening skills. We also view the feature film “Diarios de motocicleta” (The Motorcycle Diaries). Towards the end of the course, students get their first taste of Hispanic literature. As always, grammar is taught in order to facilitate communication and never just for its own sake.

18

Espagnol 40S Prerequisite: Espagnol 30S

The fourth-year course has lots of cultural content and is light on grammar since most of what the students need to know has been taught in previous years. Students continue to develop their speaking fluency through a wide variety of small-group conversations, role-playing, and games, and, as in Grade Eleven, they prepare and present at least one major video project. Students also determine course content through presentations about Spanish-speaking Influencers, traditions, current events, or social issues.

There is more extensive use of literature, as through short stories, songs, and poetry. At least two feature films are presented.

19

FRANÇAIS The main objective of the Senior High Français program is to enable students to further develop second language skills in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing. Emphasis is placed on communication in various real-life situations.


Français 10F This course is designed to develop language proficiency in the students' second language. Students will study: novels, songs, poems, newspaper articles and other forms of literature. Films and other video elements are included in the course. We will emphasize the improvement of oral fluency and the use of everyday vocabulary.
